Il promo libro de madrigali a cinque voci (Venice, 1578)
Leonard Melderts Primo libro de madrigali a cinque voci (Venice, 1578) has an interest and musical quality far beyond what one might guess from the modest facts of the authors life and works. The book partly reflects the musical tastes of the court of Urbino in the final years of Duke Guidobaldo II Della Rovere (151474) and of the private household of his brother, Cardinal Giulio Della Rovere (153378). But its structure and contents display some unusual features that can be linked to the circumstances of Melderts life and to his own initiative in projecting and assembling his book of madrigals. Moreover, it offers the first settings of then-recent poems by Torquato Tasso, Giovanni Battista Guarini, and Giuliano Goselini, the result of the composers personal contacts in the court of Ferrara and his ties to the literary and musical circle of Antonio Londonio, a Milan-based Spanish diplomat. This edition presents the Primo libro for the first time in a modern edition, examining Melderts textual choices and musical style within the contexts of courtly life, his personal biography, and the nascent seconda prattica.

Music, Place, and Identity in Italian Urban Soundscapes circa 1550-1860
Music, Place, and Identity in Italian Urban Soundscapes circa 1550-1860 presents new perspectives on the role music played in the physical, cultural, and civic spaces of Italian cities from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. Across thirteen chapters, contributors explore the complex connections between sound and space within these urban contexts, demonstrating how music and sound were intimately connected to changing social and political practices. The volume offers a critical redefinition of the core concept of soundscape, considering musical practices through the lenses of territory, space, representation, and identity, in five parts: Soundscape, Phonosphere, and Urban History Urban Soundscapes across Time Urban Soundscapes and Acoustic Communities Urban Soundscapes in Literary Sources Reconstructing Urban Soundscapes in the Digital Era Music, Place, and Identity in Italian Urban Soundscapes circa 1550-1860 reframes our understanding of Italian music history beyond models of patronage, investigating how sounds and musics have contributed to the construction of human identities and communities.

Masses by Ludwig Daser and Matthaeus Le Maistre
This edition presents four parody masses from the court of Duke Albrecht V of Bavaria: Ludwig Dasers Missa Ave Maria, Missa Preter rerum seriem, and Missa Qui habitat in adjutorio; and Matthaeus Le Maistres Missa Preter rerum seriem. Each is based on a motet by Josquin des Prez (ca. 14501521), and together they shed light on the broad ongoing interest in Josquins motets across both Protestant and Catholic Europe. They also provide a bridge between Daser and Le Maistre, who served at the Bavarian ducal court in the mid-1550s, and the courts two more famous Kapellmeistern, Ludwig Senfl (ca. 14891543) and Orlandus Lassus (153294). Finallygiven that all four masses are on models ...
